Advice to Smokers.

n French physician has been giving some counsels to smokers. He has found that the disease most frequently induced by smoking is fatty degenera- ton of the heart; but he is smoker himself, and does not advise his patients to forswear long habit. That, he thinks, would cause thcir last state to be worse than their first. Instead of doing this he lays down a code of rules for the guidance of smokers, to which it is to be feared they will not pay as much attention as they might. Never smoke fasting, says the doctor. It has hitherto been supposed that smoking was an excellent antidote to hunger; and many traveller has certainly found it to be so. A pipe, tighten ing of the belt, and nip of brandy Is MT. Archibald Forbes recipe for stay
 ing craving stomache. Do not keep a cigar too long in the mouth, and do not habitually smoke strong Partagas. are excellent councels, which great number of people already follow, for a variety of reasons. The doctors final advice is that cigar-holders should be frequently .cleaned. But surely the enlightened and instructed smoker would as soon think of cutting off his cigar altogether as of smoking them through the medium of holder? There is something to be said for smoking cigarettes through holder, but cigars.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 25.-Civil Service Commissioner Lyman, who with his family has just returned to the city, in response to in- quiries to-day said that he had read Mir. ober ly's letter to the Illinois association and re- ported interview with Mir Edgerton on the points raised and discussed in that letter, and that in the main his views eolncided with those of Mir.

He regarded associations of the character of the Illinois association, whether composed of democrats, republicans, labor reformers, temperance advocates or what not, very objectionable, if not Illegal

They bad arrived within a mile of the camp when they discovered a black bear in the brush. They at once started of in pursuit of bruin, and chasep him up a tree. They deter mined to capture him, and, although totally unarmed, save with their lariats. succeeded in doing so. They cleared away the unds<brush from around the tree, so they could loose their lariats, and at once commenced the work of roping him. They roped kim several times, but bruiu would with his fore feet throw the rope of as quickly as it fell to his shoulders. Finally Nose Aoiiit succeeded in fastening him, and putting his horse in motion dragged the bear rom the tree. As soon as he fell Mac Thomson was ready with a club to dispatch him, which he did with 6 few heavy blows across the head. The boys then went into camp, where they told their adventure to their com rades, and then securing knives went back and removed the hide.
